SHS Weekly Newsletter

We had a great finish to Trimester 2 today! This is an invigorating time at SHS with the last trimester of the year about to begin, the weather getting warmer and sunnier, and spring break very shortly, and, we look forward to everything that will occur over the next few months. Additionally, we want to congratulate all of our seniors who finished their high school careers today!

With the start of the trimester, I want to again push the importance of high attendance for all of our students. Being present in classes is the #1 way to help a student be successful. We are doing well in our goal of increasing attendance at SHS, and we look forward to continuing that momentum through June. Thank you for your help and support in getting your student to school every day!

Our district is providing a survey for families to provide anonymous feedback about how we can best deliver quality service to our students and families. Please see below for more information.

Have a great weekend and Go Bowmen!

Hello SSD Families,

The Sherwood School District will provide families with electronic report cards for all students, starting with the report cards for Trimester 2. As we move to this paperless option, report card delivery to all families will default to "paperless-only," and paper report cards will no longer be mailed home.

Additionally, we will be implementing a new platform called ParentSquare to facilitate digital report card delivery. Once grades are finalized, you will receive a secure link by email/text to access your child’s report cards using the ParentSquare website or mobile app. Login instructions will come closer to the report card delivery date. Report cards will also continue to be available through ParentVUE.

If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of your child’s report card, you can opt out of the electronic-only option in your ParentVUE account. For opt-out instructions, please visit our website at https://sherwood.k12.or.us/electronic-report-cards/ or contact your school office for assistance.
